Sulfur Content and Isotopic Ratio of Cambro-Ordovician Carbonate Rocks from South Korea: A Possible Source for Mesozoic Magmatic-hydrothermal Ore Sulfur

Abstract: Carbonate rocks of Cambrian (18 samples) and lower-middle Ordovician (11 samples) ages from South Korea were analyzed for sulfur contents of structurally substituted sulfate (SSS) and sulfides and their δ³⁴S values. The δ³⁴S values of SSS ranging from +25.9 to +45.2 permil, are averaged as +33.6 and +33.5 permil for the Cambrian and Ordovician rocks, respectively, which indicate high δ³⁴S values of the Cambro-Ordovician seawater. The SSS contents in the carbonate rocks are low being 2.9 to 17.3 ppm S (averaged as 7.0 ppm S). Sulfide sulfur, on the contrary, is much abundant containing 3 to 1,880 ppm S and the δ³⁴S values range widely between –17.6 and +31.1 permil. Sulfide sulfur of the studied rocks excluding impure carbonates has an average content of 187 ppm S and δ³⁴S value of +12.8 permil (n=24). The estimated δ³⁴S (sulfate–sulfide) values, which range from 13.8 to 25.4 permil in general with a few exceptions from 36.5 up to 52.3 permil for some impure carbonates, may provide evidence for the persistent oceanic anoxia with its temporary recovery during the Cambro-Ordovician time.
The SSS and sulfide sulfurs have often higher δ³⁴S values than the Mesozoic-Cenozoic ore sulfur (Ishihara et al., 2000). Since carbonate rocks are very reactive with circulating hydrothermal ore solution, high δ³⁴S values of the Korean ore deposits might be caused to some extent by ³⁴S enrichment from the host carbonates, resulting in the low SSS contents observed.

西藏拉木由塔锑(金)矿床位于藏南Sb - Au成矿带东段,矿(化)体主要赋存于中侏罗统遮拉组地层与辉绿(玢)岩脉接触带上.在分析该矿床成矿地质条件的基础上,系统研究了矿石硫、铅同位素组成特征,并通过与区域成矿带中典型矿床硫、铅同位素组成的对比分析,探讨了矿床成矿物质来源.研究表明矿石硫化物的硫同位素组成变化范围较窄,成...     

内蒙古额勒根斑岩型钼（铜）矿化区辉钼矿铼-锇同位素年龄及地质意义

为了查明额勒根矿化区斑岩型钼(铜)矿化发生的时间,对主要矿化体内5件辉钼矿样品进行了铼_锇同位素分析,所获同位素等时线年龄为(332.0±9.0)Ma(2σ),其MSWD值为0.29。鉴于辉钼矿呈浸染状分布于似斑状花岗闪长岩和花岗闪长斑岩体中,并且与黄铜矿和黄铁矿呈共生结构关系,推测额勒根地区斑岩型钼(铜)矿化体、似斑状花岗闪长岩和花岗闪长斑岩体的形成时间为早石炭世中期,均是海西中期构造_岩浆活动的产物。     

新疆祁漫塔格于沟子铁多金属矿辉钼矿Re-Os年龄及其地质意义

[摘 要]于沟子铁-稀有多金属矿区位于东昆仑祁漫塔格矿集区西段,其中铁铜（钼）多金属矿体主要分布于正长花岗岩与狼牙山组碳酸盐岩的接触带矽卡岩内,属于矽卡岩型铁铜（钼）多金属矿床,而铌（铷）等稀有-稀土矿化带分布于正长花岗岩和二长花岗岩内。通过对于沟子铁铜（钼）多金属矿体内磁铁矿石中的辉钼矿Re-Os定年表明,辉钼矿中含有对Re-Os定年产生较大影响的普通Os,在扣除普通Os后,辉钼矿Re-Os等时线年龄为（210.1±4.8）Ma（n=5,MSWD=0.37）,厘定了其成矿年龄为晚三叠世,是东昆仑祁漫塔格印支期大规模成矿的产物。     

新疆东天山小白石头钨(钼)矿辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄及成矿时代

小白石头钨(钼)矿床位于新疆东天山造山带中的中天山地块南缘,该矿床是一个由黑云母花岗岩和花岗闪长岩侵入中元古界卡瓦布拉格群形成的矽卡岩型钨(钼)矿床。辉钼矿作为其主要的矿石矿物之一,呈不同产出状态分布于花岗闪长岩、黑云母花岗岩、矽卡岩和石英脉中。目前,对于小白石头钨(钼)矿成矿时代尚有争议,特别是与花岗闪长岩有关的辉钼矿化形成时代缺乏精确的限定。本文选取与花岗闪长岩有关的不同产状辉钼矿进行Re-Os同位素定年,获得Re-Os加权平均模式年龄为245. 0±1. 7Ma,Re-Os等时线年龄为245. 5±4. 3Ma。准确的Re-Os同位素定年限定小白石头钨(钼)矿床的成矿年龄和花岗闪长岩的侵位年龄为245Ma左右,为矿床模型建立和找矿方向确定提供了关键依据,同时也为东天山区域成矿规律总结提供了重要的年代学证据,并指出新疆东天山—甘肃北山地区存在一条找矿潜力巨大的三叠纪钨钼成矿带。     

东秦岭钼矿带内碳酸岩脉型钼（铅）矿床地质 地球化学特征、成矿机制及成矿构造背景

东秦岭钼矿带位于华北板块南缘,NW-NWW向的固始―栾川深断裂带控制着钼矿床的空间分布.黄水庵碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床的确定,为本矿带内已有碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床(黄龙铺地区的大石沟、石家湾和桃园等)增添了又一新成员.本矿带不仅钼金属储量居世界已知单个钼矿带之首,而且碳酸岩脉和花岗斑岩两个成矿体系并存,亦是本区钼矿带的一大特色.业已查明,黄水庵和黄龙铺(大石沟)等碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床的δ~(13)C=-5.3‰～-7.0‰,~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr=0.7049～0.7065.同时,方解石富含轻稀土(LREE/HREE=1.8～2.9).辉钼矿以富含Re(平均为110×10~(-6)～244×10~(-6))为特征.基于含矿碳酸岩脉方解石的Sr、Nd、Pb同位素比值(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr对~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb、~(207)Pb/~(204)Pb对~(206)Pb/~(204)Pb和~(143)Nd/~(144)Nd对~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)的关系图,我们初步判断本矿带区域陆壳之下可能存在有EMI(富集地幔Ⅰ),这些含矿碳酸岩脉是源于EMI的碱性硅酸盐-碳酸盐熔体-溶液结晶分异的产物,成矿金属Mo、Pb主要来自EMI.根据黄水庵和黄龙铺(大石沟)钼(铅)矿床的成矿年龄(Re-Os年龄分别为209.5 Ma和221 Ma),我们推断,碳酸岩脉型钼(铅)矿床形成于华北和扬子两大板块三叠纪碰撞造山后伸展阶段的晚三叠世时期,而在侏罗纪陆内造山晚期的伸展阶段,形成了晚侏罗-早白垩世的斑岩型和斑岩-矽卡岩型钼矿床(Re-Os年龄介于147～116 Ma).
